Hear this Podcast on what not to do in Network Building by Dr Ivan Misner

Synopsis

This episode is a rebroadcast of Episode 107, from 2009.
Dr. Misner shares three networking faux pas that he’s run into over the years.

1. Not responding quickly to referral partners. Don’t put off returning phone calls to your referral partners even if you’re not sure they have a referral for you.
2. Confusing networking with direct selling. Networking isn’t about collecting business cards and then sending them sales pitches or making cold calls.
3. Abusing the relationship. The worst example Dr. Misner is aware of is someone who disguised a sales pitch as a 50th birthday party.
